Duchess Marie Salviati is very likely Duchessa Maria Salviati (Roma 4 October 1862 – 16 January 1932) daughter of Duca Scipione Salviati (Paris 23 June 1823 – Rome 15 June 1892) and of Arabella de Fitz-James (Paris 25 February 1827 – Rome 22 January 1903) daughter of Jacques 5° Duc de Fitz-James.

You might like to include another reference. Vol. 10 of Die Rosen-Seitung (1895) p. 72, refers to the "fragrant Duchesse Maria Salviati" as one of the roses that bloom particularly well in the gardens of Trentino.

We do not yet have that publication listed. Who is the author please?

Sorry about the typo: Rosen-Zeitung, of course. The author of the short article was Guido Larcher.

That's OK. A quick query soon sorts things out. I gather he called the rose Maria and not Marie? The reference is added, with our thanks.

That's right. Larcher was a fervent pro-Italian, supporting the incorporation of the Trentino region into Italy rather than Austria; perhaps that is why he chose the Italian spelling.

The Garden, September 10, 1904. p. 167
Rose Duchesse Marie Salviati.— It is remarkable that this Rose is not grown in this country. The pink flower is not at all full, but rather of the character of G. Nabonnand, yet perfectly distinct from that well-known Rose. It is quite true that the most commonplace Tea Rose looks well in the cool, moist, autumnal days, but there is a distinct charm about the variety under notice; the pink tint fades to a silvery whiteness towards the edges of the petals, I have long heard of the variety as being a good one on the Continent, and it was only this year that I had an opportunity of seeing it. Duchesse Marie Salviati is one of the parents of Reichsgraaf E. von Kesseltalt, and the two varieties are well worth adding to any collection.—P.
